Color Centers in KC1 Containing Li+ or Na+
Abstract
A new absorption band has been discovered in KC1 crystals containing Li+ or Na+ ions. The conditions for formation of this band and its behavior during thermal or optical bleaching indicate that it is due to a center similar to the B center of crystals containing Ag+. The model of the B center proposed by Etzel and Schulman is assumed and a mechanism for its formation is proposed.
